How details come to surface : The surface chemistry of small and large iron oxide crystallites was investigated in CO and H 2 by in situ XPS. Small particles reacted more dynamically to the changing experimental conditions than larger ones. Ab initio atomistic thermodynamics helped shed light on the enigmatic iron/carbon chemistry.
